Elmire $18 per hour for 1 child
I am a 4th year Optometry Student and Nova Southeastern University. I have some experience children more so from a clinical optometry and vision therapy standpoint. I believe this to be a unique skill set that allows me to more observant of your child. I am CPR certified as it is required for my profession. I have five younger cousins that I’ve had the privilege to watch and help take care over the years. I have a little bit of experience as a caretaker as I was briefly my grandmother’s caretaker up until her passing. My boyfriend and I have a dog so I’m comfortable taking care and being around them. I believe I would describe myself as dedicated and passionate. With children, I can be very fun but I also know when it is necessary to be serious.
Laura $17 per hour for 1 child
I come from a family with two younger siblings and two older siblings, so I’ve always been around and comfortable caring for children. I’ve also volunteered with children through dance and community programs. Living on my own for the past year has helped me become very responsible and independent, especially with cooking, cleaning, organizing, and managing multiple tasks at once. I’m outgoing, kind, patient, and dependable. I’m comfortable keeping children entertained while also making sure they are safe and supervised. I’m able to multitask, stay calm when things get busy, and complete responsibilities in a timely and safe manner. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and am comfortable caring for children of different ages and personalities.
Hannah $15 per hour for 1 child
My name is Hannah; I am currently a student at USF Tampa campus, with an in-progress major in Psychology! I live very close to the campus at present. I have worked with children as a teen and volunteered as a summer camp counselor while in high school. I am applying for childcare, pet care, and household assistance positions. I am able to cook, clean thoroughly, and run errands when instructed. I am an expert in all things outdoorsy and arts and crafts, and I am happy to facilitate activities of these sort along with anything the child and parents may prefer!
